Protocol Takeaways

  • 2 sampled papers report both human evaluation and LLM-as-judge, supporting direct agreement checks.
  • Most common quality-control signal is adjudication (5.3% of papers).
  • Rater context is mostly domain experts, and annotation is commonly pairwise annotation; use this to scope replication staffing.

Benchmark Interpretation

  • Innoeval appears in 7.1% of hub papers (1/19); use this cohort for benchmark-matched comparisons.
  • Jailbreakbench appears in 7.1% of hub papers (1/19); use this cohort for benchmark-matched comparisons.

Metric Interpretation

  • accuracy is reported in 28.6% of hub papers (4/19); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.
  • agreement is reported in 7.1% of hub papers (1/19); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.
Researcher Checklist (Expanded)

Researcher Checklist

  • Moderate: Papers with explicit human feedback

    Coverage is usable but incomplete (28.6% vs 45% target).

  • Gap: Papers reporting quality controls

    Coverage is a replication risk (7.1% vs 30% target).

  • Moderate: Papers naming benchmarks/datasets

    Coverage is usable but incomplete (21.4% vs 35% target).

  • Strong: Papers naming evaluation metrics

    Coverage is strong (57.1% vs 35% target).

  • Gap: Papers with known rater population

    Coverage is a replication risk (14.3% vs 35% target).

  • Moderate: Papers with known annotation unit

    Coverage is usable but incomplete (21.4% vs 35% target).

Strengths

  • Contains both human-eval and LLM-as-judge protocols for head-to-head methodology comparison.

Known Gaps

  • Only 7.1% of papers report quality controls; prioritize calibration/adjudication evidence.
  • Rater population is under-specified (14.3% coverage).
  • Annotation unit is under-specified (21.4% coverage).

Suggested Next Analyses

  • Compare papers that report both human_eval and llm_as_judge to quantify judge-human agreement drift.
  • Stratify by benchmark (Innoeval vs Jailbreakbench) before comparing methods.
  • Track metric sensitivity by reporting both accuracy and agreement.
  • Add inter-annotator agreement checks when reproducing these protocols.

Suggested Reading Order

  1. Overton Pluralistic Reinforcement Learning for Large Language Models

    Start here for detailed protocol reporting and quality-control evidence. Signals: LLM-as-judge. Focus: accuracy. Abstract: Additional evaluations using GPT-4.1 as a large language model judge further confirm the robustness.

  2. Stop-Think-AutoRegress: Language Modeling with Latent Diffusion Planning

    Start here for detailed protocol reporting and quality-control evidence. Signals: LLM-as-judge. Focus: coherence. Abstract: Evaluations show STAR-LDM significantly outperforms similar-sized models on language understanding benchmarks and achieves $>70\%$.

  3. AgenticSum: An Agentic Inference-Time Framework for Faithful Clinical Text Summarization

    Start here for detailed protocol reporting and quality-control evidence. Signals: human evaluation. Abstract: We evaluate AgenticSum on two public datasets, using reference-based metrics, LLM-as-a-judge assessment, and human evaluation.

  4. HEART: A Unified Benchmark for Assessing Humans and LLMs in Emotional Support Dialogue

    Include a human-eval paper to calibrate against judge-based evaluation settings. Signals: human evaluation + pairwise preferences. Focus: agreement. Abstract: For each dialogue history, we pair human and model.

  5. InnoEval: On Research Idea Evaluation as a Knowledge-Grounded, Multi-Perspective Reasoning Problem

    Include an LLM-as-judge paper to test judge design and agreement assumptions. Signals: LLM-as-judge. Focus: Innoeval. Abstract: However, existing idea evaluation methods often suffer from narrow knowledge horizons, flattened.

  6. Refusal Steering: Fine-grained Control over LLM Refusal Behaviour for Sensitive Topics

    Adds LLM-as-judge with red-team protocols for broader protocol coverage within this hub. Signals: LLM-as-judge + red-team protocols. Focus: Jailbreakbench. Abstract: We replace fragile pattern-based refusal detection with an.

  7. Open Rubric System: Scaling Reinforcement Learning with Pairwise Adaptive Rubric

    Adds LLM-as-judge with pairwise preferences for broader protocol coverage within this hub. Signals: LLM-as-judge + pairwise preferences. Abstract: Scalar reward models compress multi-dimensional human preferences into a single.

  8. Small Reward Models via Backward Inference

    Adds LLM-as-judge with rubric ratings for broader protocol coverage within this hub. Signals: LLM-as-judge + rubric ratings. Abstract: However, the dominant LLM-as-a-Judge paradigm relies on the strong reasoning.
